The Warragul Anglican Parish last week welcomed and installed a new rector, the Reverend Daniel Gebert.
Daniel along with his family, including wife Rose and children, Anton, Alexander and Clara moved into the parish rectory during January.
About 150 people, including invited clergy, attended the induction service. Archdeacon Sue Jacka from St Mary's, Morwell welcomed the congregation to country and acknowledged the traditional custodians.
After greeting the people, Bishop Richard Treloar, also greeted church wardens, Jenny Charles and Cameron Nicholls, who presented Daniel to him for induction.
Daniel's experience includes serving as a curate, vicar, locum priest, establishing a youth group, supporting people suffering from mental illness and he now looks forward to being a part of the wider Warragul community.
